ALL PLAYERS LISTED ARE OWNED IN 70% OR LESS OF CBS LEAGUES

QUARTERBACKS

MARCUS MARIOTA – TITANS – AVAILABLE IN 74% OF CBS LEAGUES

I know this is not pretty, but you have to admit there are not many good quarterbacks available on the waiver wire in most leagues. Mariota completed 21 of 29 passes this week for 240 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. He also ran 10 times for 32 yards. The fact that he runs is the main reason he makes the list, but there is not much else out there at this point in the season.

CASE KEENUM – BRONCOS – AVAILABLE IN 57% OF CBS LEAGUES

Keenum is here every week and he had another decent performance, throwing for 290 yards with a touchdown. He proved he can still throw for yards even without Demaryius Thomas. You know what you are going to get if you stream him.

BAKER MAYFIELD – BROWNS – AVAILABLE IN 42% OF CBS LEAGUES

No more Hue Jackson and Baker threw for 297 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. We saw him finally get Duke Johnson involved in the passing game, and will only help him going forward. The Browns are going to let him chuck the rock.

JOSH ROSEN – CARDINALS – AVAILABLE IN 89% OF CBS LEAGUES

Coming off the bye, there is still some potential upside here in the really deep leagues.

RUNNING BACKS

NYHEIM HINES – COLTS – AVAILABLE IN 45% OF CBS LEAGUES

Coming off the bye and he can really provide a boost in your PPR leagues, and if Mack goes down there is a lot more potential.

ELIJAH MCGUIRE – JETS – AVAILABLE IN 70% OF CBS LEAGUES

Cannon did not cut the mustard and McGuire was activated and showed some flash in first game back. He finished with 30 yards on seven carries and caught three of five targets for 37 yards. The Jets need his ability to catch out of the backfield and he will be in line for good looks each week as the Jets play from behind.

ITO SMITH – FALCONS – AVAILABLE IN 39% OF CBS LEAGUES

Ito is playing second fiddle to Tevin Coleman, but he keeps putting up fantasy points. This week he had 10 carries for 60 yards and once again found the end zone. His ability to score and the potential if Coleman gets hurt makes him a must grab, especially for Coleman owners.

WIDE RECEIVERS

DEVANTE PARKER – DOLPHINS – AVAILABLE IN 49% OF CBS LEAGUES

A very bad week for Parker will make people stay away after he caught one pass for eight yards. There will be ups and downs and his ups will be big, so don’t shy away as there are not many players that have his upside on this list.

MARQUEZ VALDES-SCANTLING – PACKERS – AVAILABLE IN 53% OF CBS LEAGUES

Scantling has separated as the better fantasy option over ESB. He caught three of six targets this week for 101 yards. The Packers are in need of help at receiver and Valdes-Scantling looks like the best option of a receiver not named Davante Adams.

DJ MOORE – PANTHERS – AVAILABLE IN 34% OF CBS LEAGUES

Moore only caught one pass for 16 yards, but he also added 32 yards on a rush attempt. He is going to see his role increase in this offense, and while there will be down weeks like this, his upside makes him a must grab for matchups down the stretch.

ROBBY ANDERSON – JETS – AVAILABLE IN 64% OF CBS LEAGUES

Anderson finally made it back onto the field and caught four of six targets for 32 yards. Not a great performance, but he needs to get his timing back with Sam Darnold and he will continue to get deep looks on a weekly basis.

TAYLOR GABRIEL – BEARS – AVAILABLE IN 61% OF CBS LEAGUES

Gabriel was held in check this week with three receptions for 45 yards. The Bears offense was not spectacular against the Bills, but he still is the deep threat in the offense and will have some nicer matchups with the Giants and 49ers still on the schedule.

CHRISTIAN KIRK – CARDINALS – AVAILABLE IN 64% OF CBS LEAGUES

Coming off the bye you should not be sleeping on Kirk.

WILLIE SNEAD – RAVENS – AVAILABLE IN 68% OF CBS LEAGUES

Mr. Consistent was at it again this week, finishing with seven receptions for 58 yards. He is the best floor receiver available on the waiver wire.

KEKE COUTEE – TEXANS – AVAILABLE IN 73% OF CBS LEAGUES

Coutee will return from injury and should be added as he plays the slot and will not be affected by Demaryius Thomas as much as some people think.

DONTE MONCREIF – JAGUARS – AVAILABLE IN 78% OF CBS LEAGUES

Moncrief is coming off a bye and had a bounce-back week prior to the bye. Moncrief has made Keelan Cole irrelevant in fantasy this year.

OTHER RECEIVERS TO CONSIDER

ANTHONY MILLER – BEARS – AVAILABLE IN 80% OF CBS LEAGUES

PIERRE GARCON – 49ERS – AVAILABLE IN 82% OF CBS LEAGUES

CURTIS SAMUEL – PANTHERS – AVAILABLE IN 98% OF CBS LEAGUES

MICHAEL GALLUP – COWBOYS – AVAILABLE IN 89% OF CBS LEAGUES

TIGHT ENDS

JACK DOYLE – COLTS – AVAILABLE IN 47% OF CBS LEAGUES

Doyle is back and should be added if you need help at tight end. He was not phased by Eric Ebron as he caught six passes for 70 yards and a score before the bye. Doyle will be the better tight end the rest of the season.

C.J. UZOMAH – BENGALS – AVAILABLE IN 68% OF CBS LEAGUES

Uzomah is coming off a bye and has good upside. The last game he played was not memorable, but he has a lot of upside.

JEFF HEUERMAN – BRONCOS – AVAILABLE IN 93% OF CBS LEAGUES

With Demaryius gone it was Heuerman who picked up the slack. He was targeted 11 times and caught 10 of them for 83 yards with a touchdown. Don’t expect this on a weekly basis, but he should be in line for a good target share each week going forward.

BEN WATSON – SAINTS – AVAILABLE IN 51% OF CBS LEAGUES

The old vet has been close to scoring a few touchdowns this year, but he got it done against the Rams, finishing with three receptions for 62 yards and that score. He is a red zone target and last I checked touchdowns matter in fantasy.
